The experiences and connections I made as an ADPR student set me up for a fruitful career in the NYC advertising agency world for over a decade. My ongoing relationships with the faculty and staff allowed me to engage with students who would come visit me, and lead me to meet a desire to enable the lives of students and get jobs in NYC. When the advisory board originated, the relationships I held onto, brought me back to UT. Now, this role at this phase in my life has given me a different angle to contribute in helping future generations of advertising and PR practioners grow into their careers.”
